A few years ago we placed a bumble ball (battery powered kids toy) in a cardboard box in the shower. The ball would thump and bounce by itself. People would be curious so they would pull the shower curtain back to reveal a creepy latex prop reaching out at them.

Combined with the dim lighting and scary soundtrack we had, people that refused to go back into the bathroom that year.

try a BAT Room
Ours has Bats hanging form the ceiling on the walls and I found a lace curtain with bats to use as a shower curtain. The door has a Bat Room sign made out of foam then painted.
It will make you batty

Bathroom Ideas

For my guest half bath near the kitchen, I did a Candyman theme. Wrote Candyman 5 times on the mirror with lipstick, put one of the drippy looking blood clings at the top of the mirror. Put plastic flies and bees all over the counter and walls. Put a jar of honey there too. Red and orange bulbs in the lighting and then we have a rat in a trap that is motion sensored and we keep it right by the toilet.

Last year, it was the Amityville Toilet, as if we bought the toilet from Amityville house. We had a crucifix on the wall with flies all over the walls and cabinets and mirror. Dark lighting too.

In the full bath we did Psycho. Blood clings at the top of the mirror, wrote "Mother, what have you done??" on the mirror. Blood (children's red washable paint) on the inside of the shower curtain (once it dries reverse it so people can still shower). Fake knife on the counter and I buy felt letters from the craft store and keep a white towel on the counter and have the letters BATES HOTEL on it. I also print photos of scenes from the movie and put them on the counter.

I guess ylbissop's been busy with our haunt party to check up on here. The first year, we just put in a red bulb in place of one of the vanity bulbs in the bathroom and then had one of those faucet attachments that glows blue when you turn the water on. And we tried to bloody up a clear shower curtain with his own corn syrup mix but it was hard to see.
Last year was the best. We had more people at our party and it was the biggest hit. Same lighting set up, but this time, we put a foam head (like from a hair/beauty supply place) on some cans to raise it up, placed the shower curtain over top that with more blood, bloodied the walls a bit and threw in some ice, sodas, beers, and a few body parts. It was an awesome murder scene but convenient way of storing drinks since who would be taking a bath/shower at your party?
We are trying the same thing this year only because it was too convenient to have the drinks in there like that. Maybe we'll change it up next year when we get a bigger place ::crossing fingers::
